"James Clark."

A black tentacle suddenly shot out, swallowed up the blood from the heart, and left behind a corpse with a hole in the chest and a terrified face.

"Peter Gusenbe."

"Well……"

The unfortunate fellow only had time to utter a whimper, but soon he followed in the footsteps of the former.

"—!"

"Frank Gusenbe."

Without any emotion, the names came out of the mouth of the young man wearing a black mask, one by one, as if he was naming the meals to be cooked tonight.

"stop--!"

The moment another black tentacle rose up, the mysterious power at the tip of the Sonnet Staff shot out, forcing back its momentum.

"Why did you kill these people?!"

Faced with Sonnet's angry questioning, the boy stood there without answering, but a meaningful smile quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The last person who survived the black tentacles was still trembling all over, with a look of fear and resistance on his face as he looked at Sonnet and his group who were protecting him behind them.

"—Are you also mystics?"

“Haha, hahahahahahaha…*Irish swear.”

"boom--!"

Unexpectedly, it was not the enemy's tentacles that ended his life, but his own pistol.

“…committed suicide…actually committed suicide…?!”

Sonnet stared at the blood flowing from his neck in disbelief, his eyes widening.

"The carotid artery is ruptured. He can't be saved."

Like a sarcastic remark, Apple doesn't seem surprised by this situation.

"What a shame. Could it be that the occultist's blood is so filthy... that he'd rather die than be implicated?"

"But life is precious, and even for those who have lost their way, our Lord has a way of guiding them back to the right path."

Then several small black snakes sprang out from behind him, drilled into the body of the man who committed suicide, and in the blink of an eye, transformed him into an irrational Reshaped Disciple.

At the same time, a cold light flashed, and the mask on the boy's face was suddenly cut off, revealing his brown eyes and a few freckles dotting his face.

"Long time no see, Daowu~"

"But at that time, I didn't know you were an independent individual, and I never greeted you properly. It was really a dereliction of duty and disrespect on my part as a store manager."

"Is my knife the only thing you have eyes for?"

Chen Xi, who failed to hit the target with his first strike, counterattacked with another sword energy and slashed at Daniel, who looked very confident.

"Chenxi, you too, your impatient nature hasn't changed much from before."

He didn't move his body, but only raised one tentacle, and the slash disappeared without a trace like a drop in the ocean.

"Mr. Chenxi!"

The exclamations of Virtin and Sonnet came simultaneously.

They were not surprised as to why Chen Xi knew the Hand of Reshaping in front of him.

They were surprised at when Chen Xi seemed to have disappeared from their perception and memory.

It was not until his sudden move just now that everyone realized that they had never noticed that Chen Xi had disappeared at some point.

"Now that our goal has been achieved, let's put this encounter to an end. I believe we will meet again soon, Chenxi."

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Sonnet raised his staff and pointed it at the black cocoon covered in layers of black mucus.

Not only does it contain the Reshaping Hand, but it also contains the target of this mission - the mystic who must be brought back to the Foundation!

However, the previously transformed Reshaped Disciple, after swallowing the remaining human corpses, became extremely huge, directly blocking all parts of the black cocoon that were exposed to everyone's sight.

"Goodbye, everyone."

"Please allow me to present this final and noble farewell gift to Chen Xi on behalf of Ms. Arcana."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bloated reshaped disciple began to shake violently and unnaturally, and the mucus dripping from his body seemed to be boiling, constantly agitating and growing larger.

"Stand back!"

Chen Xi, realizing Daniel's intention, shouted for Verdin and his group to retreat behind him. He then deployed a golden shield to protect everyone.

"boom!"

There was a dull explosion, but its power shocked everyone present except Chen Xi.

The pitch-black liquid was blown everywhere, and it was still wriggling as if it were alive, and new buds of flesh would emerge from time to time, as if it was trying to be reborn independently.

"Tsk."

Looking at this pile of disgusting things, Chen Xi could hardly hide the disgust on his face.

However, he still waved his hand, allowing all the black matter to gather in front of him, forming a small ball and then sucking it into his hand.

After all the disgusting things disappeared, what Daniel really wanted them to see finally appeared on the ground.

Some stock certificates carry the location "Walden Pond."

Handing it to Verdin, Chen Xi said:

"Report the failure of this mission to the Foundation, and then proceed to the next clue, Walden Pond."

"Sonnet, don't burn all the securities in a rage. They'll be useful later."

Hearing the other meaning in Chen Xi's words, Weilding took the securities in his arms, grabbed Chen Xi's shoulders and asked:

"Aren't you coming with us? Why do I feel like you're giving instructions instead of intending to join us?"

Taking the arm off his shoulder and holding it in his palm, Chen Xi explained solemnly:

"Of course I will come with you, but I have some things to do right now. You go ahead, and we'll meet at the Burnt Woods outside Walden Pond."

Hearing this, Verdin didn't hesitate any longer and left with Apple and the sonnet.

Chen Xi also turned around and went back into the underground garage, coming to the car where the two drunk humans were hiding.

With a wave of his hand, two heads, still blushing, rolled out from under the car.

"It's easier for you."

After muttering a few curses, Chen Xi picked up the child's severed finger.

With the help of it, Chen Xi found its owner - a tortured and dying child in an alley.

All the bones in her limbs were crushed and twisted into an unimaginable shape in this dirty alley.

The ten fingers were cut off unevenly, and almost no blood could flow out.

She was still just a child, but her lower body was already bloody and crumpled into a ball...

The anger stirred up a fierce gust of wind, which exploded out of the narrow alley. However, Chen Xi was able to control it well and did not affect the child in front of him in the slightest.

As if sensing his approach, the child's dark eyes brightened imperceptibly for a moment, then quickly dimmed. Along with them, the little vitality she had left also faded.

Seeing this, Chen Xi quickly treated the child in front of him.

Chen Xi was afraid that too intense treatment would directly threaten her life, so she adopted a gentler approach.

It took him two hours to repair all the injuries on the girl.

At this time, the child had fallen asleep peacefully in his arms. Chen Xi took out a suitable piece of clothing from the space and put it on her, then sensed the location of the few people who had left earlier.

After confirming the direction, he directly cut through the space in front of him, intending to teleport over and meet up with them.
